SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 629,004, dated July 18, 1899.

Application filed January 3, 1898.

To LZ wir/0717, it may concern: y

Be it known that I, CHARLES RICHARD the county ot Lancaster, England,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spooling-liiachines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to machines for spooling or winding threads of cotton, linen, silk, or other material onto bobbins, cards, tribes, or the like, and is designed with the object of increasing production, reducingcost of same, and avoiding waste of time and material. It will be fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure l is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a side elevation from the other side of the machine; Fig. 3, a plan; Fig. 4., an end elevation of the front or Working end of the machine; Fig. 5, a transverse section on line a: Figs. l and 2; Fig. 6, an end elevation of the back end of the machine; Fig. 7, a side elevation of part of ma* chine with appliance for spooling or winding thread on tubes; Fig. S, a side elevation showing a modification of saine; Fig. 9, a side elevation of another modification; Fig. l0, an elevation showing improved form of spindle;

The frame A is constructed of metal or other material of suitable shape to carry the operative parts of the machine. In this fram e, to one side, I mounta spindle B, free to rotate in its bearings, (and driven by band onto a Wharve b',) with blade l), upon which the bobbins are placed, and at the other side a, fine worm or threaded spindle C, and below this a sliding or traversing spindle D, to which are firmly attached two brackets E, one placed at each side of the threaded spindle C. The threaded spindle O is driven at the desired speed by spur-wheels c from the spindle B, and each bracket E carries at its end a bowl or runner e, chased in theperiphery with tine grooves which engage alternately with the threads on the threaded spindle C. One-half the other half a left-hand thread, so that by placing the runner e of the brackets E alternately in contact with the spindle C a to-andfro movement is given to the traverse-spindle D.

Serial No. 665,584. (No model.)

The blade b of the bobbin-spindle B, which projects beyond the end of the frame A, I make of such a length as to carry two, three, four, or more spools, tubes, or cards, upon which the thread is to be wound, preferably of a length to receive four bobbins vF, two tribes G, or two cards H. p

To the end of the traverse-spindle D is afiixed a bracket or arm K, carrying at its upper end a spindle k and a handle L, which` project beyond the frame A, aarallel with the blade b of the spindle B. On the spindle 7c are placed a number of guides M, the number corresponding with the number of spools,

ssy

bobbins, tubes, or cards on the spindle B, by

which the thread is laid upon thespool, bobbin, tube, or card. The guides are adjustable on the spindles 7c and secured by small. set-screws or otherwise. Each guide M is preferably made with an enlargement m on the upper side, in which a groove m' is cut,

.through which-the thread passes, so that the operative can apply the thumb or finger to the upper side of the guide without coming in contact with the thread to give the desired amount of pressure to the guide. The handle L serves to chan ge .the position of the traverse-spindle D to place either one or other of ceive the spindle 7c and also provided with metal tips m3 at their ends.

Below the spindle B, I insert in suitable bearing in the frame A a further spindle N with al reamer n projecting to the front end of the machine, by means of which should the bobbin-bore be too small or crooked to fit the spooling spindle I can enlarge or straighten it sufciently to enable it to fit. This spindle is driven from the main spooling-spindle by means of a cord or'band n.' on pulleys or by friction-wheels, chain or toothed IOO tubes G without flanges I may employ loose collars or flanges g, which are fitted onto the blade b of the spindle B (see Fig. 8) to prevent onelayer of thread being carried at the f ends beyond the precedinglayer and give the desired form to the end of the roll of thread.

The collars or flanges g may be recessed in the center to allow a small space of empty tube at each end. Instead of or in addition to the loose flanges or collars g I may attach Shapers R, fitted on abracket ron the end of the frame A (see Fig. 9) or in any othersuitable position. The shapers R are tapered or inclined along their inner edges to give a slightly-conical shape to the end of the roll of thread, and the ends of the guides M project into and Work between the sides of the Shapers which stop or determine the traverse at each end. The shapers R may be formed with inclined or straight edges .to give a tapered or straight end to the roll of thread, as may be required. The thread is laid onto the tubes by gage, as onto wooden spools, the face of the guide M which rests upon the tube being cut in the ordinary Way according to thickness of thread spooled.

The spooling-spindle B for wooden bobbins may be constructed with a spring S on one or both sides provided with a knife-edge s to cut intothe bore of the bobbin, (see Figs. l0 and 11,) whereby should the bore of the bobbin be too large or slightly larger than the blade b of the spindle B the bobbin Will be held iirm for winding. Cards may be spooled in asimilar manner, the cards being provided with a hole through the center to lit onto the blade b of the spindle B.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is-

l. In a spooling-machine the combination with the threaded, spindle c provided with Y right and left hand threads rotating in bearings in the framing A the traversing spindle D capable, of moving longitudinally in bearings in the said framing provided with stopcollars dto determine the maximum distance vof traverse-brackets E and runners e which engage alternately with the threaded spindle C and are moved to and fro thereby, the bracket K affixed to traversing spindle and spindle 7c carried thereby, of`the Windingspindle D With long extended blade b forming part thereof and free at one end capable of receiving a number of bobbins a number of guides M mounted on the spindle k by which the thread is delivered to the bobbins and a corresponding number of loose collars g fitted on the blade b of thespindle B to prevent one layer of thread being carried at the ends beyond the preceding layer, substantially as described.

2. In a spooling-machine the combination with the threaded spindle C provided with right and left hand threads rotating in bearings in the framingA the traversing spindle D capable oi' moving longitudinally in bearings in the said framing provided with stopcollars d to determine the maximum distance of traverse-brackets E and runners e which engage alternately With the threaded spindle C and are moved to and fro thereby, the bracket K ailixed to traversing spindle and spindle 7o carried thereby, of the Windingspindle B With long extended blade b forming part thereof and free at one end capable of receiving a number of bobbins a number oit'Y guides M mounted on the spindle 7c by Which the thread is delivered to the bobbins of the Shaper R placed above the guides M and a corresponding number of loose collars g fitted on the blade b of the spindle B topreventone layer of thread being carried at the ends beyond the preceding layer, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.

C. R. DANIELS.
